[quote=Anonymous]"Many nannies and parents consider their relationships to be so much more than a "business transaction". " Yes, and so do parents, once the relationship has developed to this point. But in the beginning, before both parties are really known to one another, it is an employment arrangement. Heck, there's even a contract involved, that spells out the terms of the employment arrangement! To pretend otherwise is pretty naive. OP may well know her relatives well and be in a good position to assess whether they would make a good AP. In this case, this sounds like a great approach. But if these people are just names to her (aunt Suzie's second cousin's daughter), then it might make things more complicated to bring that person over as an au pair, only to find out that the person in question in no way is suitable to care for OP's children or to live with OP for the year as a member of the family.[/quote]
